Product Information

The Sartopore® Air raises the bar and sets the standards when it comes to the requirements needed for single-use applications. Particle retention, phage retention and of course bacterial retention in air and liquid are specifications that prove the quality of Sartopore® Air. 100% factory integrity testing ensures inherent quality in every filter prior to use. Superior and steady flow rates over long duration imply high efficient processes.

Applications

  • Single Use Bioreactors (Sparge | Overlay filter assemblies | Exhaust filter assemblies)
  • Single-Use Mixing and Storage bag vents
  • Single-Use Liquid filter assemblies requiring PUPSIT (Post Sterilization Pre-Use Integrity Testing)
  • Fill-finish

Inherent quality provides full confidence

The 0.2 μm single-layer hydrophobic polyethersulfone (PES) membrane is self-dewetting and therefore provides high air flow rates at low differential pressures over an extended process time. All components were developed and are produced under full control of Sartorius. Furthermore, the following indispensable requirements are fulfilled:
  • Retention of ≥ 107 B. diminuta/cm2 in aerosol and liquid
  • Retention of ≥ 107 MS2 coliphage/cm2 in aerosol
  • Retention of particles sizes 0.005 μm | 0.3 μm
  • 100% integrity tested prior to release
  • Clear labelling with Lot. number and individual unit number.
All information lasered on each filter housing.
